What the buyer wants

• Design, supply, install and maintain bus shelters, canopies, walkways, cycle shelters and bus stations • Provide real-time passenger information systems including electronic displays for bus stops, terminals and vehicles • Deliver consultancy, project management, integration with existing infrastructure, refurbishment, cleaning and managed services • Ensure sustainability, wifi connectivity and smart ticketing integration where required

Lots

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a very large framework contract worth up to £800 million: most small tradespersons and sole traders will lack the scale, resources, turnover, supply chain infrastructure and insurance cover to bid competitively or deliver. You would need significant business capacity, proven experience on large public sector projects, and likely a team of specialists.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
